I believe that many of the difficulties we have in life are caused by the strategies we chose at one point to get our underlying universal needs for love and comfort met. Yet these strategies may no longer be useful. I can help you learn and practice new ones that are a better fit for who you are today through nature-based, experiential, and trauma-informed psychotherapy. In addition to studying Wilderness Therapy at Naropa University, I have completed additional training in Hakomi somatic therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Call today for a free 30 minute initial consultation. www.lions-breath.com

One day you’re a kid with no responsibilities and then suddenly you find yourself in that in between place...not a kid anymore, but not quite an adult. During that exhilarating and confusing window, sometimes having an adult to talk to, someone who isn’t Mom or Dad, can make all the difference in the world. I had that when I was a teen, and I don’t know what I would have done without it!

Now I get a lot of satisfaction out of being that adult for young people in transition. Whether my role is to provide a nonjudgemental and caring ear, to work more specifically with healing from a traumatic event, or to just give a little advice, it’s a true honor.

So feel free to shoot me an email or give me a call.

I offer a 30 minute consultation free of charge to find out if we’re a good fit.
